I am so technology illiterate, it is ridiculous. I am not too sure why the pictures came out so small. But that is just how things roll around here at times. LOL

Here are the pictures that I wanted to post a few days back. I painted these candles sticks the color Jade. They have cute little tear drops hanging from the ends of the leaves. I love them.

I got the idea of the color from Kim at Daisy Cottage. She had just painted a chandelier this color. I thought it was just the bees knees. LOL She has such a lovely place. I sure enjoy visiting.

I hope you all have a lovely day!

I have been enjoying myself over at Sugar Pie Farmhouse. Aunt Ruthie has the cutest site "evah" over there. She has her blog, of course, her Blue Ribbon product reviews, Home Cookin' recipes and of course the new Girl Talk Forums.

We sure have been having fun talking and getting to know one another. So come on by and say "Howdy"!

I have been busy! I also went to take picture of some things I have been working on, but I only took 2 pictures and card flashed full and then the battery died. LOL Just my luck!

I was visiting Daisy Cottage a while back and Kim had shared with her readers the paint she used to paint her chandelier. I took one look at the color and it was love at first sight. I knew right then and there that was the color I was missing in my color scheme. My dilemma.....What should I paint?!! Well, I decided that my candle sticks needed a face lift. So I painted them. At one time they were distressed white, a shabby chic thang going on. Now they are....Jade.
I was going to show you picture, but I sure cannot. I cannot figure out where I put the pictures. They used to go directly to my folder, but now....AGHHHHH!!!
I will get them later, when hubby is home and can help.

I finished the stuffed Cat for my dd. She was so excited about her hand made doll. I used some old fabric. I think it is from the 60's. It started to unravel on me at the seam. But I did some ugly stitching on it and it is fine. Hand sewing is something I need to work on....a lot! I am still working on the bunny for my nephew. I need to stuff it and put the face on. I think it will be OK. I got one ear shorter than the other. I was juggling a lot that day. Didn't think I was so out of it. I am not too please with that. So I will see what he looks like when I am finished. If he is OK than I will be sending it to my sis.
That right now is all that is happening here. I need to post some pics of my disasters....Oh I mean creations.

Boy time sure passes when you are busy. We have been schooling hard here. I am also going to be selling some curriculum, so I need to get it all in order and figure out how much I am going to be selling it for.
I have been improving the tortoise habitat, which included planting native wild flowers for him to eat. And we have been weeding. (which is a chore, because we are in the desert and that is all we have.lol) Dino does eat the weeds, but we have more weeds than we can eat.
I have been sewing. I made knickers, and I am still working on aprons. I really need to get those done. I have taught myself to crochet (with a little help from my friend). I have been working on a scarf, with hexagons. I am doing thread crochet. I bought a book from MaryJanes Farm called the Stiching Room. I really like it a lot. That is where I got the pattern for the scarf. I am needing to make 34 of the hexagons then sew them together.
I also have been looking for fabric for my curtains. I am wanting to cover those windows now. I went with a friend to L.A. fashion district to look around and found fabric for $1 a yard. YIPEEE! Now I need to choose a color.
My sister's wedding is coming up in July. I told her I would make the ring bearers pillow. So that is another project that is on my list. Martha Stewart has helped out a bunch in this area. I still need to decide what I am going to go with. Of course mine will be an original, but Martha has some good ideas.
Well off to work.
